trace_line

Syntax

native trace_line(iIgnoreEnt, const Float:fStart[3], const Float:fEnd[3], Float:vReturn[3]);

Usage

Entity index that trace will ignore, -1 if trace should
not ignore any entities

Trace starting point

Trace target point

Vector to copy trace end point to

Description

Fires a trace line between two origins, retrieving the end point and entity
hit.

Note

• This native writes to the global engine module trace handle. Additional
  trace results can be retrieved using traceresult().

• This native returns 0 if the trace did not hit anything. As 0 is an
  entity index that is considered to be a valid value for a trace hit
  ("worldspawn"), this native can potentially return a misleading value.
  Check other components of the trace result to verify the entity index.

Return

Entity index if trace hit an entity, 0 otherwise
